Psychology Private Practice: Should You Be Free Of Managed Care?
As you will soon find in the following paragraphs, I believe it is possible as a therapist to help people and make a good living while enjoying an enviable lifestyle. Today a mental health practitioner in private practice faces this choice: Either work under contract for a profit-driven managed-care company and accept whatever fees and conditions they decree, or find clients who are willing to pay out of pocket for high-quality services.Yes, you can decide to operate primarily outside of managed care.I have, and so have hundreds, maybe thousands, of therapists. To do this, you need more than a bunch of tips and techniques. You need a systematized approach that works and some necessary skill sets.Why Are You Reading This? Maybe you are tired of working in the managed-care system and are thinking about starting a managed-care free practice. Maybe you have started a private practice, but are struggling to get private-pay clients. Maybe you have a good private practice, but feel you have no

How Can A Communications Audit Help You?
Organizations communicate in two directions: internally to staff and externally to clients, customers, shareholders, stakeholders, the media. Faulty internal communications can lead to mistakes, discouraged and unhappy staff, employees leaving the company. Poor external communications can jeopardize image and sales. It really is that simple. Any overall management strategy needs a communications plan or the whole operation might fail.A communications audit analyzes an organization’s practices to reveal how effective they are—throughout a whole company or in specified parts of the organization. It can pinpoint problem areas such as frequent misunderstandings, information blocks, information lacks, information duplication, misrepresentation. An audit could be part of a periodic health check but it is especially helpful at a time of change: a merger or acquisition, launch of a new product or service, entry into new markets, for example.The exact nature of the audit will depend on the type of orga
In case you haven’t ever read anything by me yet, or in case you haven’t quite “twigged” my angle yet, then the simplest way I could put my overall marketing philosophy, is like this, Think of a spider, and its web, and also imagine a Fox, and his Cunning ways.
To define these as strategies, I would say, the spider was “Catchall” type “Fisherman” strategy ( yes I was going to try and use a fishing analogy here but I have heard some before, and well, it just isn’t fit, ) Whereas the Fox, is a highly adaptive species, very clever, and will be able to figure out where to get food in practically any environment.
Imagine, A spider-fox, an animal with all the cunning of a fox, and the ability to spin webs too! don’t you think that fox would set some Cunning traps, in places you wouldn’t even imagine? trying his luck, as well as edging his bets with Certain Sure Win “food-Traps”, imagine the Spider-Foxes surprise, when it stumbles across a trap it laid some days ago, and noticed it had more food than he had caught all week!!!Organizations communicate in two directions: internally to staff and externally to clients, customers, shareholders, stakeholders, the media.

Changing the Paradigm - A Mother's Guide to the World of Entrepreneurialism
Point #1: It all starts with an idea. Many people think you need an MBA, PhD, or even a college degree to become a successful entrepreneur, and you need to be knowledgeable in certain business areas. Let's debunk that myth right away, it is true that those things help you, but they are not a prerequisite for definitive success. The last time I checked you didn't need a degree from an accredited university to come up with a brilliant concept, service, or product. Ideas are the foundations of success. You could know everything there is to know about business, but if you have to offer, you have nothing to sell. If you have an idea to improve a product, offer a service that is needed or desired, or have a ground-breaking idea that companies, governments, or individuals are willing to exchange money for then you have the foundations for a successful business venture.Point #2: Leverage your current skill sets As I said in Point #1, you don’t need to necessarily have the business skills and knowled

Never Return Phone Calls Right Away
I once had a boss who told us to never return phone calls right away. He said if you return a call too quickly, the other person might think you're not very busy. This same boss also liked to say "always make it hard for the other person to schedule an appointment with you".His logic, in both cases was that if you appeared super busy then the other person (a prospect) would want to do business with you because you're a winner. And (he reasoned), it gave you the upper hand in any negotiations. Your apparent success told the prospect you didn't need their business.Great advice!Unless you actually want to grow your business. Then it's lousy advice. Who wants to do business with someone who purposely delays responding to you and who intentionally is difficult to work with? Not me.My old boss got it wrong in a big way. He spent too much time thinking about himself and how he appeared to other people. He thought by creating a certain image, he could manipulate people into wanting to do
